How is everyone feeling? (31)

[Bored]

Can loneliness manifest itself as physical pain

[Dougella]

^ Yes I believe so.

[anxiouslondoner]

As crap as usual.

Thanks. I met up with my son
That was yesterday though so I'm back to feeling my normal miserable self today.

[biscuits]

^ awww lovely. How's he getting on?

Sorry that the feelings were fleeting

[Appear]

I have a relatively cushty job, a loving partner and a fridge that dispenses ice but still can't kick that underlying feeling of ennui.

I'm also a twat because I feel like only a French word can adequately capture my feelings. Déplorable.

[Percy]

Chin up consolida

[Professor Willow]

I genuinely feel like a frightened child trapped inside the body of an adult.

[magnolia]

I often feel like that, willow ,it's sucks.

Had a stressful day at work.
Just so fed up of everything.
EVERYTHING
This country, this planet.
Boyfriend asked me what was wrong , I said I was fed up of everything. He then just walked out the room.
Now, when I'm in that kind of shitty mood I don't know if I just want to be left alone or to have a hug.
He's tried talking to me but I just clam up.
Which makes me feel useless.
I just can't win.
I'm worried about the future. Our boss wants to cut our pay.
I worry about being on my own if my boyfriend were to die.
Sorry it's probably time of the month

[SFC01]

Pleased, had covid for the last week and although it wasn't bad i wasn't able to have my kids stay. Tested negative first time this morning so kids with me tonight woohoo !

[Professor Willow]

^ glad you're on the mend.
I tested positive yesterday, today I feel like my head is going to fall off and my bones ache.
Hopefully my immune system will kick it out quickly.

[biscuits]

I'm in bed with stomach cramps again. I've steered clear of pizza. I did have a hummus and salad filled whole meal pitta pocket for lunch yesterday. Please don't tell me pitta pockets are off limits too. I did eat it in a rush so didn't eat as slowly as I usually do.

It's making me fairly miserable to be having these cramps all the time! Maybe I just give up bread products altogether.

[anxiouslondoner]

^ aww hope you feel better soon Ms. B!

[Chess&Junkfood]

Get well soon, Biscuit

[biscuits]

Thanks, darls. I'm much better now. Sometimes I wonder if it's worry and anxiety as well. I just don't know. But it also links to breaded products, which is weird because I've eaten bread my whole loaf.

[Ronnie_Pickering]

Eating a loaf at a time might cause stomach woes ^

[biscuits]

^Breadian slip!

[Nanuq]

^ Have you been checked for food intolerances, Biscuits?

[Gaz0101]

Less then, as usual, been battling this 20+ years but still find it hard to be content with this is how life is going to be, forever! Sorry for such an uplifting reply lol how are you feeling? 😊

[biscuits]

^^ I was thinking of finding a test but apparently they're not r
Approved. The nhs website says:

The best way of diagnosing a food intolerance is to monitor your symptoms and the foods you eat. See what happens when you cut out the suspected food for a while, and then reintroduce it into your diet.

I eat enough fruit and veg because I love it all (apart from mushrooms and mango).

^

[Nanuq]

Do you think that's really true? Or the nhs' way of not paying for food intolerance tests?
It does seem like you might have a wheat intolerance. Apparently if you've intolerant to a food (as opposed to allergic) histamine is released in the gut and causes inflammation and cramping. Sounds plausible. Histamine is a bitch.

sorry you're feeling this way, it is very tough.

[Mike.Kzov]

They had a baby shower thing in the office the other day, and everyone including me was forced to go. I was hoping I could use the excuse of it being a girly thing where I wouldn't be welcome to get out of it...no such luck

I could see some of the girls in the office laughing at me sat there. The stuff I'm put through at this place

[Rocket Spud]

Christ. What happens at these things?

[Dougella]

^^ They force you to go to the baby shower of someone you just work in an office with?! How strange. I think those things are strange enough when it's just friends and family invited.

[biscuits]

Aw that's sweet, Mike! Everywhere I have worked does stuff like that. Little gatherings at lunch time before someone goes on maternity leave. People usually take a little gifts or have clubbed together to get a voucher. It's lovely for the person who is about to go off to pop out a baby. Also it usually involves cake. Wiiiiin! You need a "I'm just here for the cake" T-shirt.

[Mike.Kzov]

^ It was sweet. The lady sent a nice email round after saying thank you. Another lady was there who's currently on maternity leave, and she came in with two babies that were being passed around. Madness

[biscuits]

Haha bet it was all a bit of a bewildering first experience of it all! Nice that they're making you a part of the work family though

[biscuits]

@Nanuq, I don't even know, babes. I can eat pasta and other wheaty foods. I'd go to the doc but... it'll be fob off after fob off. I'll cut out pizza and stale bread as those are the two triggers I've identified and then see if it ever happens again! It's once or twice a year, but it's really bad when it does happen.

[Clumsy*]

^maybe the yeast in bread and pizza?
Hope you get to the bottom of it, Bix.
